On 17-19 September 2019, two representatives of the HKJCDPRI participated in the Emergo Train System - Senior Instructor Course held in Brisbane, Australia.

 

Developed in Sweden in the 1990s, the Emergo Train System (ETS) is a disaster simulation exercise and training system. The ETS is a validated simulation system used in over 35 countries. It makes use of a series of white board and magnetic system to represent capacity and resources. All actions are time-measured so the training outcomes can be measured quantitatively. Whiteboards and magnetic symbols will be used to represent resources available, and a patient bank with descriptions of injuries will be used to represent the needs. During a disaster simulation using the ETS, participants have to make accurate decisions on the use of resources including quantities of various equipments, manpower and time! It is an ideal system for assessing the capacitieis of pre-hospital and hospital responses during major incidents.

 

Upon completion on the course, two HKJCDPRI staff had become certified ETS Senior Instructors. With this capacity, the HKJCDPRI will utilise the knowledge and skills gained to enhance our current training and bring in new ideas for future training.
